This premium Photo Document Printer offers digital camera owners extra functionality and quality at an unbeatable price. Print what you want, how you want - at high speed and with exceptional results. Enjoy superior quality photo prints with fine detail and smooth color gradations, thanks to tiny 1pl ink droplets and a high 9600x2400dpi print resolution. The 5 Single Ink system includes a dye-based black that brings extra depth and contrast to photos.
The Canon Pixma iP4500 is a stylish unit that boasts both a five-color ink system and a 4,608-nozzle print head to deliver wonderfully lifelike color, along with bold, laser-quality text. How does it work? The print head ejects precision droplets as small as one picoliter, resulting in a breathtaking 9600 x 2400 color dot-per-inch (dpi) resolution as well as a truly exceptional level of detail. Remarkably efficient, the iP4500 also will print a borderless 4-by-6-inch photo in only about 21 seconds. And you can store both photo paper and plain paper in the two paper trays at the same time, so you're always ready to print exactly what you need.
The user-friendly iP4500 provides lots of options, so you can indulge your creativity. With this system, you get four dye-based inks plus a pigment-based black ink, the option of printing two-sided documents to save paper, and the ability to print right from your infrared-enabled mobile camera phone. Simply capture an image with a PictBridge-ready digital camera or DV camcorder, then connect and print--it's that simple. And to make sure your favorite shots look their best, the built-in automatic image-fixing feature via Easy PhotoPrint EX also helps ensure that each image is as clear and vibrant as possible.

The last of Canon's legacy printers:
I bought this printer to replace a previous Canon model which had been serving me faithfully for the past 3 years, then developed a fatal fault and refused to function further. My primary print jobs are basic everyday documents, the occasional photo on glossy paper (always beautiful and FAST)and, most important of all, printable DVDs. I used a 3rd-party print tray and online instructions to enable the hidden feature within older Canon Pixma models. After discovering that Canon has unfortunately... more info
Ink cartridge problems:
I purchased this printer Canon ip4500 because the reviews here looked pretty good and I have a Canon scanner and on a friend recommendation. It printed fine the first few months but then the yellow cartridge stopped printing. I have replaced the cartridge twice, run all the maintenance and alignment solutions and nothing has worked. I contacted Canon and they said they could offer me a discount on another of their printers, no thanks. I know most of us have gotten use to a product only lasting a year, two... more info
Canon Printer 4500:
This is a good printer but I do not believe Canon makes it any more. I especially like the dual paper trays, small size, and speed at which it prints both documents and photos. I did not give it five stars because some of the small pieces - paper cassette cover and paper holder end seem to be very cheaply made. It also works well with generic ink cartridges and I will not be held prisoner by printer companies who charge exorbitant prices for ink.
Great, fast printer:
I like everything about this printer except that it is not wireless capable. All printers on the market should be.
The colors are bright, black is black, and it prints out very fast.
